Q: good morning
we are wondering if you have any information on the above symbol. Quantum Solar Power Corp. This trades in U.S. dollars. We have held this for some time buying in at the seed stage. Cannot get any information on this. It is small but showing signs of life with the new push for solar power. Any information you can provide would be appreciated.

Q: To get some exposure to small caps, I invested in MAW150 late last year; I wonder if XSU has done better in the same time frame. If so, any idea why? And if so, would you switch to XSU? I intend to hold for what I see as the medium term, 2-3 years. Thanks!

Q: These ETFs make up my main bond holdings in an RSP. All have done OK, but are starting to slip a little bit. I also hold XTR, which has a high bond component, and noticed that they recently reduced the distribution. In an increasing rate environment, how would you rank these 3 bond ETFs in terms of (1) maintaining share price; and, (2) maintaining distributions?
Thank-you

Q: I'm looking to reduce risk and start preserving capital in my all equity balanced portfolio. I have raised about 10% cash and am looking into fixed income etf's to achieve my goal. Would you suggest something like XBB/AGG/XINC or fine tune with a few different US/CAD fixed income etf's? Or is there a better option than bonds?

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,

I am looking for a Canadian dollar etf alternative to the above international quality factor etf. IQLT has 1% USA assets. Could you suggest two CAD etf alternatives: one with some USA assets and one without? I suspect the mer will be higher, but that’s ok.

Many thanks,

Q: Can you please give your thesis on MMX? My understanding is that it is a royalty company that will do well if prices of silver / gold go up because they will get more royalties - how does that work? Do they give money to exploration companies in exchange for royalties, and we are counting on mgmt to pick good projects given their expertise? How many properties are cash producing vs speculative?

Also, the PE ratio at ~100 seems really high, but is that the best way to be looking at it?

I'm happy with high growth, but what happens if silver/gold prices stay low for another year or two, are they in trouble?

Thank you!
